About

Who Am I?

Niraj Uprety

I'm a .NET developer based in Kathmandu, Nepal, specializing in ASP.NET Core and REST API development. I care deeply about writing clean, maintainable code that follows solid architecture principles.

I'm experienced with authentication & authorization, dependency injection, CQRS patterns with MediatR, and building GraphQL APIs using HotChocolate. Unit testing and effective logging are central to how I work.

Currently at Sigma Software Group, I'm working in an Agile environment on backend .NET systems, collaborating closely with senior engineers and contributing to testable, well-documented features. I believe good software is built slowly, carefully, and collaboratively.

Life Outside the Terminal

What keeps me curious, grounded, and inspired.

📖
Reading Manga
Deep into complex storylines and world-building. Favorites include Berserk, Vinland Saga, and One Piece — stories with depth, craftsmanship, and long-term vision. Much like good software.
🔭
Exploring Tech Trends
Keeping up with the evolving .NET ecosystem, AI tooling, and backend architecture patterns. Following blogs, GitHub releases, and tech talks to stay sharp and ahead of the curve.
🏗️
Architecture Deep Dives
Fascinated by how complex systems are designed — event-driven architectures, microservices tradeoffs, and distributed systems. The "why" behind design decisions is always more interesting than the "what."
🏔️
Exploring Nepal
Living in Kathmandu means the Himalayas are never far away. Occasional trekking trips clear the mind and offer perspective — both literally and metaphorically.
☕
Coffee & Coding
Late-night sessions with a good cup and a tricky architectural problem to solve. Some of the best ideas come from quiet, focused exploration outside of work hours.
🎮
Strategy Games
Enjoy games that require planning, resource management, and long-term thinking. The same skills that make a good developer — patience, strategy, and adaptability — translate surprisingly well.
